BANGKOK, Jan. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Boehringer Ingelheim has been awarded "Global Top Employer" for the fourth year in a row, and one of the 17 globally certified companies by the Top Employers Institute. For Thailand, it is the sixth consecutive year of recognition. The 2024 certification reflects the impact of the organization's comprehensive learning and development opportunities.

Boehringer Ingelheim received particularly high scores in the categories "Develop" and "Steer", highlighting a link between individual development and the company's purpose of transforming lives for generations.

One example of Boehringer Ingelheim's commitment to people development is the Boehringer Ingelheim University.

This provides employees with content based on their areas of interest and skills needed in the future.  

"Learning and development is a key component for our company as we are powered by our people. This year's Global Top Employer certification reflects how we empower our employees to be the architects of their own careers, which combined with their passion, can create an impact on millions of lives," said Rori Fox, HR Director, ASKAN, Boehringer Ingelheim.

Boehringer Ingelheim also runs a regional Leadership Development Program, where participants from different business and functional units are selected through a rigorous nomination process to undergo practical and experience-based learning. The program is in its eighth year and has produced over 80 alumni who have continued their leadership journeys with the organization.

"Our employees have always been our top priority and being recognized as one of the Top Employers for the sixth consecutive year in Thailand reflects this," says Rodrigo Lau, General Manager and Human Pharma Head, Boehringer Ingelheim (Thailand). "While we continuously encourage our employees to be the drivers of their own career pathways, with emerging challenges and increasing expectations, we are dedicated to providing them with the right skills to fuel our commitments to a healthier and sustainable future for humans and animals."

Boehringer Ingelheim has been listed among the Top Employers globally for the past ten years. This year, it is one of only 17 Top Employers worldwide and will receive the award in 30 countries. Its regional Top Employer recognition has also expanded, covering Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East.
